Re: Is this possible and if so

If you use CHECK(ER) on the input fields the screen will return back to the 
program when the last position of the field is filled.
You than can retrieve the description for the code and resend the screen.

I was wondering if this is possible and if so, if someone would point me in 
the right direction.

I have a display file that a user uses to enter in motor vehicle citations, 
accidents, etc. There are three fields: a date of the violation field, the 
state in which the violation occured and a violation code field which 
accepts a numeric value between 01 and 99. what I would like to do is have 
the program display the corresponding description as soon as the user enters 
the code value, IE: they enter 01 and exit the field and a description field 
on the display file shows the description for that code.

Suggestions? Or is this something that is better handled via help files? 
The problem I see with help files is constantly making changes as we enter 
new code violation codes or delete ones no longer needed.

Suggestions?
